HIgh School Chapel
What an incredible sight at the TCS stadium...450 HS students challenged to become “super-spreaders!” No, not the spreading of Iranian and Russian misinformation. No, not the spreading of COVID. But the super-spreading of Christ and all the fabulous earth-shaking world-changing principles that God has embedded in each of us. We have all been called to be contagious!
Our new HS chapel series is called CONTAGIOUS: What are you spreading? (see below). Nathan Blevins powerfully kicked off the series last week by challenging us to boldness. To be contagious and courageous and boldly bring the Christ story to our own lives, our campus life, and ultimately to the world. Way to go Mr. Blevins.
Please be in prayer for the upcoming topics and speakers:
Operation Christmas Child shoebox Drive
It is that time of year again...to lean into the lives of the less fortunate around the world and provide Christmas joy, hope, and the message of Jesus. TCS HS, through the efforts of the Bible Department, will be collecting money and resources to send Christmas boxes around the world. The collection date for these boxes will be on or before 11/16. More information will be provided to the students through their Bible classes.
Here is the website for the proactive and curious:https://www.samaritanspurse.org/what-we-do/operation-christmas-child/
Backpack Buddies of Coweta
The TCS HS has a great opportunity to partner with BackPack Buddies over this Christmas holiday by providing cereal to their foodbank. Our goal is to collect 800 large cereal boxes (any kind) by 12/11. If we can get every HS student to bring in 2 boxes per person before the deadline, then we will easily meet our county’s needs.
Please be in prayer for those who experience hunger as part of their daily routine. If you are interested in BackPack Buddies then go here: https://backpackbuddiesga.org/
